Not always no. I wish I wasn’t like it to be honest. I’m very much a “ what if” person too. I overthink too much and it’s not really a good thing.

I over think terribly. I think I've finally found a way of dealing with it though.

It's a blessing and a curse. In loads of different ways, but I wouldn't change it... I don't think, or would I? I dunno.

My opinion, there’s no certainty of future events, only a probability that something will occur in an expected way based on past experience or on the testimony of others. For example, the sciences, where facts change as new discoveries are made.

So I take on the view that you make the best decision at present-given all the facts you can know-on a probability, with a certain amount uncertainty built in. Otherwise you could end up taking no action and be debilated, in other words, suffer mental paralysis on a life decision-great or small.

That's my way of coping with it. Finding out enough deep shit to satisfy my curious mind.

I’ve had this happen to me, and all sorts go through your mind, but honestly the banks know more about you and your spending habits to know when unusual behaviour occurs and those transactions are fraudulent.

Rest easy, despite the feeling you may have (which I did) that someone has burgled your home. The money will be back in your bank within 24 hours or so.

People put in a functional MRI scanner and asked to do a physical action ie make a fist.

First show activity in the part of the brain that sends the impulse to the muscle to make a fist, then a tiny amount of time later the part of the brain thst is more related to conscious thought shows activity.

So very crudely you act before you think the thought to act.

Your thought "im going to make a fist now" actualy happens an instant after youve sent the signal to make a fist.

So from one perspective we have no free will we're actually judt a passenger within our body

So did I.

I think that deep thinking is where you think about things in depth but can control when and how you do it. Over thinking is when you think about every, single, minute possibility that could occur in every aspect of life.

In my opinion.

See id say thats more just shallow musing.

For it to be deep youd actually have to be conducting some detailed and ordered philosophical study.

I'm thinking in some depth about old age. That's because my parents are very old and I can see how age has affected them and compare it to when they were younger.

Yes. I think a lot, and have found comfort in being able to voice out my thoughts sometimes. Relieved when I notice others think the same way. But, I’ve come to realise there are something’s I just won’t understand.

Take swinging for example, I don’t understand why I’m okay with it, I just am. I’ve tried to ask questions to myself and others and although some reasonings sound quite acceptable, all don’t fit how I feel about it.

I can go quite deep into most things that mean a lot to me, not everything needs to either, somethings I can be quite shallow about, but they’re not as important to my life.
